Comments Thread For: DiBella Doubts Arum Wants to Put Crawford in With Spence Now

[Pigeons]

Arum needs to market his WW prospects more. Jose Benavidez Jr., Egidijus Kavaliauskas, and Konstantin Ponomarev.

Benavidez is finally getting back in the ring on the Ramirez ESPN card. Kavaliauskas is gonna be the co-main event against a former world champion on the Beltran ESPN card. That's a start.

Crawford wanted Thurman or Garcia. I doubt Haymon would want to put Thurman or Garcia in with Crawford now.

I don't really understand these silly comments about Arum as if Haymon is any different.

[ShoulderRoll]

If a promoter won't put his guy in with the best, because he doesn't want to pay out money only to see his guy lose, then the business model of boxing is beyond ****ed up.

Not that we didn't know that already.

Fans will get Spence / Thurman in about a year

After that fans will want The winner vs Crawford

And that's when Arum will start with the ridiculous excuses like this event needs to be in a outdoor stadium that needs to be built in Africa , Haymons hard to deal with, Spence/Thurman want way too much $

And a good chunk of fans will eat it up

Spence-Pacquiao would sell way better than Crawford-Pacquiao.

I think it's because we've seen dozens of PBC guys fighting across the spectrum. But its almost always in a fight they are favored to lose and it's almost never a top guy in his stable. *Jacobs was an exception. They thought he could snatch those belts, and he almost pulled it off lol

I can't think of any Top Rank guy who's ever fought on Showtime. *Maybe Loma v. Russel Jr.? That might've been on Showtime due to a purse bid. I watched it but I can't remember the network.

Of course, your doing what all the other fraud promoters are doing with their Divas, Spoiled Brat Hearn- glass jaw AJ, Golden Girl- Canela, and now Bob the Joke Arum- Crawford...... I’m not surprised at all!!!!

If that’s what’s holding the best fighting the best up then we the fans need to boycott Too Rank and PBC. We want to see these fights made.

Dibellla just wanted to sneak a few jabs at Arum. There's no reason to even discuss it right now. We know what the ESPN set up is. Crawford has at minimum 3 fights before we can entertain the fight.

Interesting though. Lou basically just admitted that there's some private money tied up in that Top Rank - ESPN deal. Wish we got some public info on that.

thats what he’s speculating. No one else has and espn said they are buying the fights. I doubt DiBella has knowledge about the contract between espn and top rank. That’s just him taking jabs

Benavidez finally has his hand healed up after getting shot
